Everything went perfect from start to pitching the yeast - except one thing. I read my thermometer wrong for the temp to soak the grain in. Instead of 155 degrees F, I read the Celcius side and actually soaked the grain at 130 degrees F. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I got a wort reading of 1.046 instead of the 1.053 that I was supposed to get. I went ahead and pitched the yeast and set it up to ferment. Only then did I run down to Austin Homebrew Supply to see what difference this would make.
The man behind the counter shreiked - NOOOOOOOOO! YOU RUINED IT!!!!
I fell to the ground, praying that the brew gods would not strike me dead and begged the man to show mercy.
Actually, he said that it would taste watered down, ferment time would be less, it would carbonate higher, it would be ready after bottleing in a week instead of three and the alcholol content would be less.
Is this sooth?
